Check out the trailer here. Check out gremlins First Look here. Check the screenshots here.Vienna (Austria)/San Francisco (United States), April 28th 2015:
Adventure fans, rejoice! The saviour has returned and blesses you with his latest masterstroke: Broken Age – the "Double Fine Adventure", the cornerstone of the Kickstarter boom has finally been completed. After a long wait, adventure legend Tim Schafer delivers the second act of his fascinating adventure.
The story of the two protagonists Shay and Vella is now heading towards its brilliant finale. What once started out as an auspicious campaign on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter and then found a legendary $3,336,371 and 87,142 supporters, has finally come to an end. Following his ingenious escapades with Day of the Tentacle and Grim Fandango, the doyen of the point-and-click adventure now delivers his latest masterpiece!
Broken Age is available now. The complete adventure belongs in absolutely every adventure collection on earth (preferably as a boxed version, of course). With the first act of this magnificent tale having already garnered top ratings, with the likes of IGN and Destructoid awarding it a brilliant score of 9.5/10, the developers are now putting in place the grand finale with the final act.
Happy Gaming! Ana

Thanks, Ana. For some reason, I can't play it on my own computer. I'm getting a black screen whenever I start it, even though I've never had that problem before.  Must have something to do with one of the updates not agreeing with my system. I've started playing a bit on Thorsgoat's computer, however, and it's really good so far.  Looking forward to playing more of it.

I'm sad to say, I am very disappointed in Act 2. I was so excited to get it, since I loved the first one, but it tedious, illogical, persnickety controls and the story is a real letdown. I'm currently at the last puzzle for 3 days, and if I don't get it soon, I am just ditching it.

I rarely criticize a game, but I really can't hide my disappointment on this one. It's like they just gave up.

Act 1 was entirely different from Act 2. I think most of the comments are from the first half. The second half is getting a beating from many. I started to look around after I found myself miserably plodding along just wishing it would end. Ana

Hope you're able to get past that one part at least. I haven't gotten very far into the second act, so I've had no problems with it so far. I'll see how I feel when I get farther into it. I'm also still working on Dead Synchronicity, so it will probably take a while.
